Ceramic Tile is a great choice for any home or business and possess endless décor or design options; options include many variations in size, colors, installation patterns, and glazes. Ceramic tile is manufactured by using clay and hardened by super heating the ceramic tile in a clay oven or kiln.

There are 2 basic types of ceramic tile, they include glazed and unglazed tile. After the process of hardening the tile occurs a coating or glaze is applied to the tile’s surface, after the tile is placed into the kiln or tile oven again, the result is a glazed tile. For unglazed tile this process is not needed and the absence of this glaze produces an unglazed tile.

When installing ceramic tile there are steps that should be taken to ensure the installation is done correctly. One, preparing the sub-floor; this includes clearing any and all debris having a clean surface to install the ceramic tile. Two, marking the center of the room, this will be the starting point for installation. Chalk lines are a common tool used to mark the center of the room by snapping the chalk lines that intersect and laying a single row of tiles along the center, giving you the layout for the space. Three, applying the adhesive this creates a bond between the tile and the sub-floor holding the tile in place. Four will be cutting the tile to size then putting in place to be bonded with the sub-floor; to finalize the work apply grout to the joints between the tile.
